(a) cause a display of at least two independently operable indicators, each of the indicators including a plurality of different, individual components,
(b) cause a display of a table, the table including:

(c) cause a display of a designated number of generations of the displayed indicators, said designated number being at least two,
(d) for each of the displayed indicators, independently randomly generate one of the different components for said displayed indicator, the randomly generated components generating one of the displayed combinations, wherein each one of the displayed combinations can be generated for each one of the generations,

(f) if each of the displayed indicators have generated the designated number of generations, cause the displayed award offer to correspond to a final award offer,
(g) if each of the displayed indicators have generated less than the designated number of generations, receive an input from a player whether to accept or reject the displayed award offer,
